Dropped a Camera in the Nastiest Bayou in Houston... and found a MONSTER

It's one thing to wonder what's under the water and another thing entirely to see it! Catfish, bass, alligator gar, monsters? What's swimming at the bottom of Houston's nastiest bayou?

Plz do this throughout the US and World, for that matter!! Great idea, perfect rig, living vicariously through you 😊 I'll be watching every one of your vids!!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Much appreciated

[@CatarineausArmory]

Not sure that is the "Nastiest" bayou in Houston. I canoed Buffalo Bayou from Belt 8 to 610 about 40 years ago and me and my buddy smelled like a sewer when we got picked up by his girl. She would not let us ride in the truck we had to sit in the bed......

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Ha, to be fair, the title of "Nastiest Bayou in Houston" is probably a tight contest

[@twotoned2774]

Glad you were able to get the camera back. It was cool watching the underwater footage and the fish attempting to eat the bait.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, I had a feeling it would get snagged. I've been fishing that bayou long enough to know. I just wish I caught a fish.

[@ericallison4494]

I've never stared at a piece of liver more intently in all of my life. Lol

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Same here

[@railroaderreddoor76]

That was fun! Thank you for a great underwater adventure.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@jthetreasurefiend201]

This was one of the most unique video I've seen in awhile. Excellent work and video. Truly cutting edge. Those cats were so cool to see

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it, definitely want to get more use out of that camera

[@magsman448]

Totally agree. Super interesting and this channel is definitely one of the better ones for me anyway. If you enjoy the underwater recording a channel called The Ginger Fisherman has some outstanding underwater footage!

[@Flahmas]

Wow catching that 40-pound catfish while having the underwater cam would have been insane! I never would have thought the water would be clear enough to see all those fish but we did so that was awesome. I can only imagine what you would pull out of there if you magnet-fished. Great video as always and I hope to see more underwater footage of your catches and some huge catfish as it gets colder.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I honestly thought this bayou would be clearer. I was kind of disappointed. I'll be going to Florida soon and I'll be taking this camera for sure.

[@Flahmas]

@@wildlifefishingshow I can't wait to see the results that Florida brings. Even maybe a creek here in Houston could get good results.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@Flahmas maybe, I think there's one I know of that's clear enough

[@Flahmas]

@@wildlifefishingshow I've wanted to try and show off beautiful pan fish in a glass box because I saw a small channel do it. I would need to go somewhere with clearer water also to fill the box.

[@paulmaul2186]

Thanks for the great content over the past year!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Much appreciated, thank you for the support 🙏

[@jimmyRadventures]

Now that's some urban fishing! Way to put a creative twist on it! I was hoping that 40lb cat would bite..

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Same, I was really, really aggravated when I watched the footage back

[@leesaneyman8304]

I really like this idea. I'd certainly like to see more. Especially one where you catch one👍👍

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks, now I just gotta catch a fish next time.

[@TheNutriarat]

If this is the Bayou by UH or TMC, lucky you didn't snag a body....LOL. Or get mugged. lol.

[@DJboutit2]

Brays Bayou right next to Macgregor park. He is right next to the Calhoun Rd bridge

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yup

[@outdoorsjoe]

If you do this again it would be cool if you did split screen so we can see what's going on above water and below at the same time.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

If I find clearer water, I might. I was kind of disappointed with the water quality, so a split screen (smaller aspect ratio) would have been too hard to see here. I might try this again in Florida

[@elizabethguynn6873]

This was a unique view and really interesting to watch. Do it again sometime.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Definitely. I just gotta find clear water somewhere

[@billcollier6565]

Really cool!!! Great idea

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it, though I will admit I got the idea from a different, saltwater KZbin channel

[@d.i.ychannel5521]

Oh! Amazing work!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 🙏

[@Tx_Tst713]

where you at, we need more of that Houston fishing content, hope your doing good, be safe.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Just explained everything in the livestream I did yesterday.

[@henryzoch1505]

that is so cool!!!!!! I would love to you use that when you go down to the Trinity for those big gar!! The only creepy thing is.....if you wind up seeing a body down there!! LOL!!!!😆

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I honestly don't know if the water is clear enough but I am actively trying to find reliable gar spots where this camera will work

[@coolraul956]

Which Avet reel are you using?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I think it's the MXL single speed

[@thetinggoBOP]

My closet body of water is the braves bayou and The willow waterhole. I want to start fishing but I can't seem to catch anything

[@wildlifefishingshow]

From what TXPW told me, they didn't stock much in Willow Water hole, so it might be too new to naturally hold good fish

[@SeifertToddM]

We have lots of luck at WW, but mostly catch small cats. They love corn. There’s bass too but haven’t had much luck with them on lures. We did catch a large cat there a year ago. And Braes Bayou we catch tilapia and small cats, occasionally carp and way too often we catch turtles.

[@FISHWITHAPRO]

Cool video!!

[@ugly-king]

Very nice ❤

[@wildlifefishingshow]

In a Borat voice

[@chaosdweller]

Man just found your channel and I luv it .

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 🙏

[@miguelpascual2823]

Where can I buy the camara that you used under the water ?

[@azgamer7681]

What brand of Chod hooks do you use?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I get them from Bigcarptackle.com

[@mussim2919]

Love it.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thsnks!

[@willtontv9374]

Oh wow

[@wildlifefishingshow]

💯

[@Hary957]

very good bro👍

[@reelingwithrobby]

put in in 0.25 and look at 4:05 ... huge carp

[@wildlifefishingshow]

You should come out this way and film with me when it warms up a bit, really big catfish up to 40lb and gar up to 70lb here.

[@reelingwithrobby]

@@wildlifefishingshow might have to do that, prob might stop at the brazos or something too just to see if they really are bigger over there Lol

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@reelingwithrobby I'll send you some spots

[@reelingwithrobby]

@@wildlifefishingshow thanks man! Definitely will be big trip haha I’ve never driven more than an hour to fish😂

[@reelingwithrobby]

Well other than Destin for sharks but I usually just do that while on vacation Lol

[@azgamer7681]

Do you know any waterproof pants or good pants for raining fishing

[@wildlifefishingshow]

These are what I wear www.target.com/p/wrangler-men-39-s-atg-side-zip-5-pocket-pants-brown-36x32/-/A-54497251

[@CoachDave12]

I'm now sitting and wondering what it would take to become the kind of person that would dump a mattress and a stroller into a river.

[@morganpethis3960]

Do you have a smaller camera? Would be neat to see little sunfish and small bass like this.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Not at the moment

[@alansloan88]

Half expected to see the decomposing remains of a Houston unsolved murder victim.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I was kind of hoping to find some

[@BrackishWaterC]

Playboy P the 🐐

[@wildlifefishingshow]

You know it 🔥

[@user-ib3le3cm8l]

We can know the behavior of fish 🐟🎉

[@wildlifefishingshow]

To an extent, definitely

[@robertmyers6048]

I'd like to dive in there to see what I could find in there

[@TheNutriarat]

An infection.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I wouldn't dive there for all the money in the world

[@SeifertToddM]

Hepatitis

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@SeifertToddM for sure

[@wanderingspider8988]

All kinds of weird stuff going on in there brother.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

For sure, it's a bizarre location

[@kansascityslim]

Try mini crossbow hunting small game, it's fun and it actually requires skill so you won't get bored like you would fishing or playing tic tac toe... You're welcome

[@wildlifefishingshow]

A man of real skill would hunt with a spear. Crossbows are for children.

[@moblack5883]

Their behavior is totally different from salt water fish. I’m glad we didn’t see a body.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Ha, I'm not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping for something extreme

[@bigrudd9346]

Is that Buffalo Bayou?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Brays

[@bigrudd9346]

​@@wildlifefishingshowOh wow yeah that's nasty. I've heard it's slow moving and a few bodies have been recovered from its waters.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@bigrudd9346 All true. When it rains, this area is prone to extreme flash floods. I actually have an older video on the channel where I had to run up out of the bayou as a flash flood came down. That same flash flood killed a fisherman a mile downstream from me.

[@williamleidy6713]

Thats not a " bayou". Still the footage from the camera was entertaining and enlightening.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It literally is a bayou. Brays Bayou predates Houston, and this section has been lined with concrete to combat erosion.

[@irwahermansyah]

Ikannya kelihatan bang

[@firestorm8471]

Nasty and creepy
